Wort

So verwendest du hyphenation in einem Satz: 2 Bedeutungen und 6 Beispiele mit Audio.

Kontext: „language“

(noun) the way in which words are broken up with a hyphen, especially at the end of a line. It's like when you have a long word, and you put a little dash (-) to show that the word continues on the next line.

Beispiel

Hyphenation is important for making sure that long words look nice at the end of a line in books.

Beispiel

The paper I read had no hyphenation, which made some words look weird and cut off.

Beispiel

What is the correct hyphenation for the word 'basketball' when it is split at the end of a line?

Kontext: „writing“

(noun) a system of using hyphens to connect parts of words or to join two words together. For instance, in a compound word like 'mother-in-law', hyphenation helps to show that the words are related.

Beispiel

Using hyphenation makes it clear that 'mother-in-law' is one special person.

Beispiel

Without hyphenation, 'mother in law' can confuse people because it looks like three separate words.

Beispiel

Can you explain the rules of hyphenation for compound words?
